Android: Supporting Multiple Screens

Question

Have a question...Android divides the range of actual screen sizes and densities into: A set of four generalized sizes: small, normal, large, and xlarge. A set of four generalized densities: ldpi (low), mdpi (medium), hdpi (high), and xhdpi (extra high)

1) What have the higher priority ?

Lats say I have hdpi device with large screen size...And I have 2 folders in my project: 'layout-large' and 'layout-hdpi'...Which folder will use my device ?

2) I have hdpi device and 2 folders in my project...default 'layout' folder and 'layou-mdpi' Why hdpi use layou-mdpi ?

3) How to name folder correctly ? layout-mdpi-normal or layout-normal-mdpi...

Thanks...

Answer 1

1) I guess that the priority respect the naming convenction for these folders, layout-mmc-language-screensize..... and so. But I don't have tested it. So I think that screen size will be choosen first.

2) layout-hdpi uses layout-mdpi because it's the best candidate (it is the folder that theoretically should fit better with the hdpi screen, because layout it's totally generic)

3)layout-normal-mdpi
